Marriage to George David SHORTRIDGE Jr on 10 Jun 1862 in Dallas County, Alabama, USA

The will of Margaret ENGLISH Echols shows her as a daughter of her sister Elizabeth, first wife of Jesephus Dickerson ECHOLS. Here are my thoughts:
In 1850 she is listed as b. 1843, 1860 shows 1845, 1870 shows 1843-1844, 1880 shows 1847, 1900 shows Nov 1845 and 1920 shows 1850.
Even if we take the earliest record of 1850 she was born after the 1842 death of Elizabeth.
I thought initially when I found the will of Margaret that shouldn't she know her own children? It's baffling.
Also, if take all the dates of the children of Josephus they are as follows:
Children of Elizabeth:
Mary Elizabeth ECHOLS (1835-1843)
Martha Rebecca ECHOLS (1838-1870)
William Walter ECHOLS Sr (1839-1875)
Children of Margaret:
Victoria English ECHOLS (1845-1930)
Olivia Elizabeth ECHOLS (1846-1892)
